I held tight to my emotions, all in a bid to hold back the tears. The agony was becoming unbearable. Not only from the pain of the bad tooth, but also, from the chisel and hammer ramming my tooth. And later, from a sophisticated drilling device attached to my operation bed.

Bravo, Femi. Your story reminds me of my recent struggles. I salute your courage for writing in such circumstances. You have proven to me that one should write in any circumstances. And I must confess that I’m an advocate of this principle.

The sad thing is, in my case, I wrote but didn’t finish. You have given me the “ginger” to finish what I started. Thank you for writing this. I needed it so much. Keep writing, Femi.

Hello Muhiz,
I appreciate you for taking time out to go through the piece.
And am glad you like it.

Honestly, i never knew i had the principle in me until that fateful day.
I will be looking forward to reading your experience soon. And how great it will be to have it here on NWC .
Do have a great weekend.

Though i didn’t experience those exact agonizing moments with you, i also share moments like that with my recurring ingrowing toe nail.
I had to undergo 5 different Surgeries over five years to get through with it.

That’s the exact spirit we need to succeed in any meaningful venture (dear to our hearts), most especially in the blogging world.
I was sharing with my dearest friend about a quite successful blogger, Will Blunt, complaining that he never knew being a blogger would sap enormous time out of his life and already busy schedule.

Keeping up with blog posts, organizing your strategy(ies), your social media editorial calender, scheduling your ethical bribes (if you have more than one social media campaigns) with the corresponding follow up email campaigns for new and current subscribers, following up with your unengaged subscribers not to talk of customer support (if you’ve got products you are selling) and many many more.

It’s not easy, especially when you have the love of your subscribers and readers at heart. You don’t want to disappoint them with washy, washy $5 dollar fiver content and you’ll also want to keep up with the necessary daily commitment.

It really take a strong heart, my dear.

I always say blogging is for the proactive, strong and for those that believe in their dreams not the weak minded.

Blogging is a full time job for the really really successful bloggers. But the good thing is, even when you put many hours into it daily, you still enjoy yourself immensely as long as the passion is there. Win-win!

Hello Anu,
Hmmmm, i really don’t know where to take it from.
To imagine that you had FIVE similar experiences is even more touching.

Yeah, i couldn’t agree more that blogging isn’t for the weak hearted. And about keeping up with blog updates and scheduling, it’s really not easy my dear. Considering that i still keep a day job. For the time being at least.

And you know the funny part? “Washy, washy $5 fiverr content”.
In reality, that’s exactly what they are. Washy content.
If you had said this some 10-11 months ago when i thought i could just buy some fiverr gigs at $5, update my blogspot blog and start getting great results, i would have gladly cover my face in shame.
But…. thank God you didn’t.

hmm i read the story my feelings and thought changed instantly because this is the second heart touching episode that i will read after that on Abdullahi’s on this page.

Bonire is a very good friend of mine and he has that spirit of becoming one of the most succesful bloggers if he keep on the hardwork. Tough time they say never last but tough people do “Robert Schuller” . it is never to late to say NO because it means (Backward, Failure , Laziness and Hardship) but spelling it backward which is ON Means Success, Achievement, Zeal , Self-Actualization e.t.c ” Napoleon Hill”

Bonire your story is not only touching but a steping stone to personal development. Keep the Flag high for Almight God is your strenght.
I believe we are all learning from Abdullahi’s everyday food for thought. May Almight God also continue to grant him good health, longlife and life activities.

i believe we all have a brighter future and becoming great in life start from somewhere.keep it up nice write up once again bro……………………………………….i love the composition and feelings of your pen

This is really a mixture of sadness and happiness!It is really captivating and motivating to know that one can actually still move on with writing even when faced with rocky trials as dis one.
With just this piece,no need for more pieces;I will continue to strive in any situation to acquire this skill of writing and blogging to the fullest.
Thanks for sharing this.

Writing is a subtle art and an instinctively drive. A pro or budding writer has a concentrated mind even inside the volcano, he freely expresses himself with an ink and paper or screen and typing in such a persuasive way that he might not sometime have gut to speak.

I found this overwhelming joy each time I embark in a journey of writing and I felt accomplished then Bill gate when I finished a writing project.

Well done sir for your relentless effort to write under such circumstance.

A great pleasure it is for me to see you here again. I appreciate your wish.

To know that such an outstanding writer like you could still be humble and generous enough, not to only read my piece, but also, dropped a comment and saying hello at (Bonfem Academy) my work place, leaves me with a feeling of joy.

I am an avid reader of yours Sir. And to be honest, your work is one worthy of emulation. I always look forward to every Wednesday. For it is never complete without devouring a great fresh content from you.

Enstine Muki acknowledged this as well. What a super superior that makes you.

What can I say?
I just hope that for those of us weak hearted in the face of challenges-myself inclusive-can learn and use your experience as a source of inspiration. I know I would.
Thanks for sharing. Get better soon Bonire. God is your strenght…Once again Thank YOU!
